A specific campaign during the evening also raised funds to help Allan Brooks continue to partner with local organizations such as NOYFSS, The Family Resource Centre and other non-profits, ensuring families can participate in nature education. These funds will be directed towards helping low-income families experience ABNC.

The centre offers a variety of exhibits, trails and breathtaking views and also brings in special shows such as The Raptors.

This is the last weekend you can catch The Raptors at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre before the birds take the summer off.
